Status Auto Design / Hermosa Beach / SpeedInnovation ECU

Hey all! Got some pretty exciting news! Anyway, on my way to my cousin's house along pacific coast highway I literally thought I passed a lamborghini dealership when I saw two Murcielago's in a glass building surrounded by wheels...

So I had time to check this out, 110 wasn't bad today. - "STATUS Auto Design" Hmm.. from the streetside the place looked pretty sophisticated so I beasted my way in. Okay, 1) the shop is like a one-stop-shop for everything related to the euro-market and 2) the showroom with the Lambos were owned by the man who shook my hand welcoming me in.

After the subtle shock and awe, I was approached by a familiar face! My ECU tech and rep at SpeedInnovation! Man it's been a long time! Anyway, he was asking me how Beast was doing, said "extremely well" It's been almost 2 years since I've had my SpeedInnovation update, and last I saw him was when he was located in Gardena...so that was quite a move.

I think we chatted for nearly 20 minutes up until the point of which my cell phone rang off the hook because my cousin considered me lost. BUT, I didn't leave without mentioning my buddies at X5World - I invited his co-worker JP to join us here because I noticed some people were looking for local ECU programming and interest? So what the hell!

Yes - the word "group buy" did come up, I'l say that much. Anyway, I had a great time - I might even have them order the 4.6rear/front add-ons for me soon. While having them install it, I'll sit in the Murcie's or have a beer on the beach!

That's awesome that you were looking out for us fellow X5'ers!

Also, you can get the add-on bodykit from Morristown BMW for $535, and painting should be $200 or so more.

Lol. When I have the time I'll post the full shebang. I'm in vegas right now and actually want to enjoy this place for the weekend haha. You guys might be surprised at how much hp/$ you'll be getting though 'em I'll say that much.

Edit: Oh guys, I forgot an important detail though. This isnt like a chip that can be sent to you, if anything it's you sending it to them. I'm just fortunate to be in the area so the longest I had to wait was.. an hour and a half?
